Answer:

The answer to the specified question will be "\mu_{s}=\frac{T_{m}Cos\theta}{M_{g}-T_{m}Sin\theta}".

Explanation:

Referring to the question,

\sum F_{x}

⇒  TCos \theta-F_{s}=0

⇒  T_{m}Cos \theta =F_{s}...(equation 1)

\sum F_{y}

⇒  TSin \theta+F_{N}=m_{g}

⇒  M_{g}-TSin \theta=F_{N}...(equation 2)

Now,

From equation 1 and equation 2, we conclude

⇒  T_{m} Cos \theta = \mu_{s}F_{N}

By substituting the value of F_{N}, we derive

⇒  T_{m} Cos\theta = \mu_{s}(M_{g}-T_{m}Sin \theta)

⇒  \mu_{s}=\frac{T_{m}Cos\theta}{M_{g}-T_{m}Sin\theta}

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

If the starting and ending points are identical, the overall work equals zero.

Explanation:

Option (D) is correct.

A force is considered conservative when the work performed by it while moving an object from point A to point B does not rely on the path taken and remains consistent across all paths. The work done is determined solely by the initial and final locations of the particle. Thus, when the initial and final positions in a conservative field coincide, the work is said to be zero.

How long does it take to raise the temperature of the air in a good-sized living room (3.00m×5.00m×8.00m) by 10.0∘C? Note that t
Softa [3030]
The required duration is 16.1 minutes. To determine the heat needed to raise the temperature, we must calculate the following amounts, where Q represents the required heat, m stands for mass, V represents the volume, C signifies specific heat, and ΔT indicates temperature change. After substituting the provided values into the formula and calculating, the next step is determining the required time based on the formula t = Q/P, where P is given as 1500 W. Ultimately, we find that the time needed is 16.1 minutes.

A scuba diver has his lungs filled to half capacity (3 liters) when 10 m below the surface. If the diver holds his breath while
Keith_Richards [3271]
To address this problem, Boyle's Law must be applied, which states that the initial and final pressures and volumes are related as follows: Where, P₀ and V₀ represent the initial pressure and volume, while P and V refer to the final pressure and volume. The endpoint pressure in this scenario is atmospheric pressure. Thus, using the given equation, we can find the volume the lungs would occupy at the surface.
